It seems you never find a trade token in the town it is from...that has been my findings anyway. Here is a San Pedro, NM trade token I found in another ghost town in NM. very unexpected, but who expects to find a token anyway! It turned out I had just gotten a new 12x15 SEF butterfly coil for my Minelab explorer II and thought I would go try it out at the ghost town near my house. I wasnt there more than half hour when this turned up....dont know if it was the coil or just luck, but I was glad to find it and it is a pretty nice looking find.
Thanks for looking and good luck hunting.

i don't know if it's rare or not but it is one of the best looking tokens.
it wasn't long ago when tokens were just fun to find.
now it's possible to find one of value more so than coins!!!!

congrats.

I'm from N.M. and have never seen one.
Cool Beans.

In order to buy some tokens, the bar must had been doing good.


I bet that one is from the first Rush!
